I have a new electric car coming in August and I will be selling my XFR.

I'm seriously going to miss the noise and drama.

I'm a petrol head and can't imagine not having a toy for the weekend. I drove some caterhams and an atom last year and out of all the cars I drove that day I enjoyed the caterhams the most. It also helped I got the fastest lap time smile

They brake turn and control so well, so much fun.

So I was thinking of that or a a Westfield. I was looking at Westfield as they are cheaper. What do I look for, which engine, age and how do I know the build is any good?

Also what's the running costs like, insurance (it's a Frankenstein so how are they priced?), tax, mot and servicing. I assume the later you do yourself which I will find fun.

What else should I be aware of? I hear you don't drive in the wet smile
